:: Linux Tuning :: Tuning the Desktop

I am going to start posting tuning parameters for different systems configurations.

This is for a Small memory < 4GB desktop. Specifically a 3GB laptop.

RHEL5 and 6, some tunables change in 6, but most are ok.

Don’t use for a server, will be really bad. Obviously, there are network tuning parameters here and I presume NFS access/needs. These parameters are well documented on the internet, the why of my parameters, is really my secret sauce.

At a later date, I will describe the why and how of these configurations, but for now, paly if you wish.
